Looks like the kind of hog that would get you butt-checked with the quickness.

I bet if someone other that Darth said it, you wouldn't be making this big stink about it.



I am not trying to make a "stink". And who said it really doesn't matter to me, in fact I didn't notice at first

I posted a funny gif I love in jest and Darth called me out as being a douche among other things. Just explaining.

I'll leave, carry on. I really don't care much, to each his own.

I dont see why anyone would by this. Not one single person. If you are into bikes, especially Harley's, what's the point of an electric bike lol? I swear, the world has gone to shite since the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

It would actually make more sense for a company like Ducati to build that electric bike IMO.

If it's anything like gas harley's it will be in the shop within two weeks of buying.

Ducati is more Italian Machismo and Sexy..

Hell no. If I were to ride I'd want a bike that is as loud as possible so nobody will pull out in front of me.


It helps but the asshats texting while driving don't seem to hear you anyway. You should be able to legaly beat the living frick out of sombody causing or nearly causing an accident by playing on a phone.

Electric bikes and cars are the future. That's where the technology is headed. Formula 1 cars are now hybrids.

Before too much longer, electric street cars will be faster than combustion powered.

Welcome to the 2000s.

Yeah, I could see that. I only said Ducati cause you mentioned them and the body style of this new electric bike looks closer to one of them than it does to a Harley.

Seeing your avatar, remind me one day to tell you about the 78 280Z that I dropped a 350 hp Chevy 350 in. TH350 tranny with a shift kit. Hugely flared fenders with some serious meat. So much promise...

Guy pulled right out in front of me. Soon as I saw him coming I laid down on my horn and swerved over into the left lane. It was a 4 lane and thankfully nobody was in that lane. He stopped midway across the right hand lane just in time. I missed getting killed by less than a foot.


Happened to me once too, I watched my foot pedal miss his front bumper at 45mph by about 2-3 inches. Stopped riding not long after that.

My daily commute is into and then out of Birmingham. The way you sit on a motorcycle puts up a bit higher than most car seats so you can easily see what's going on in cars. In the last year or so I've noticed an explosion in the number of drivers (mostly women BTW) driving down the road with one hand on the wheel and the other holding their phone which they're staring at. You can usually tell who they are as you come up on them because they'll be swerving exactly like a drunk driver.

If you go up and down 280, I apologize ahead of time if I run you over.

I'm pretty sure that I cam close enough to his front quarter panel that had I wanted to I could have kicked out his headlight as I went by. It was that close. About a mile up the road I pulled off at a Chevron and just sat there for about 10 minutes.

.. In the process of finding a 70-76 Z for a LS1 swap...

Buddy of mine had similar setup that was mind-numbingly fast
